Chevrolet P1163

HO2S Bank 2 Sensor 3 Lean System Or Low Voltage

What P1163 means on a Chevrolet

On Chevrolet vehicles, P1163 is logged when the ECU detects a fault in the O2 / lambda: “HO2S Bank 2 Sensor 3 Lean System Or Low Voltage”. P1163 is a manufacturer-specific Chevrolet code (the "1" after the letter marks an OEM-defined code), so its meaning applies to Chevrolet and may differ on other makes.

Common causes & symptoms

Typical triggers for a O2 / lambda code like P1163 include faulty or ageing sensors, wiring/connector faults, a clogged or removed component, or a value drifting outside the ECU's expected window. Symptoms range from a check-engine light only, to limp mode, rough running, higher consumption or failed emissions tests.

P1163 and ECU tuning

When a Chevrolet has had hardware changed for off-road/motorsport use (for example a removed DPF or EGR), the related monitor must be disabled in the ECU map or the code re-appears. Softechpro Solutions performs DPF/EGR/AdBlue/DTC off and recalculates the checksum, so codes like P1163 stay cleared after the flash. Genuine faults should always be repaired, not just hidden.
